Alpine crossing Alps Traverse Gemellato (ATG) Rosenheim/ Lazise (4th part - 11 stages) Lavis to Lazise (158 km)
Alpine crossing in 11 stages. The Alps Traverse Gemellato (ATG) is a shorter variant of the long-distance trail Rosenheim – Lazise. It is a good alternative to the often crowded E5 if you want to do an alpine crossing once.

“E5” (Oberstdorf/ Meran)
“Traumpfad” (Munich/ Venice)
“L” (Garmisch/ Brescia)
“L1S” (Walchensee/ Iseo Lake) L1 variant "L1S"
“GTA” (Grießpass/ Ventimiglia)
“Munich-Garda Lake” (Munich/ Garda Lake)
“Via Alpina: Yellow Route” (Oberstdorf/ Trieste)
“Via Alpina: Red Route” (Oberstdorf/ Trieste)
“Alpe Adria Trail” (Großglockner/ Muggia)
New:
“Alps Traverse Gemellato" ATG (Rosenheim/ Lazise). The multi-day route "ATG" is a variant (shorter distances, more days) of the “long-distance trail Rosenheim – Lazise“.
